JayD Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I am a Home Health care specialist. I am currently working under private contract for a family friend, taking care of his son who was in a horrible car accident and is paralyzed from the neck down. Feed him, bathe him, dress him, and all this with minimal supplies, and what we do have is outdated. I used to be an Airborne Trooper and not a lot would break me, but taking this job breaks me on a daily basis. Not physically, not mentally, but emotionally. It's hard to see how bad he has it and the fact that he sued Ford for their faulty seatbelt mechanisms, and lost. As a matter of fact, his lawyer got counter-sued and Ford won. He got nothing out of the deal, but paralyzed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Wrecker/flatbed driver since I could see over the wheel and reach the pedals and a wrench since I knew "righty tighty-lefty loosy" (besides those sneaky lefthand threads...) In other words, destine to do manual labor for a long time. :coffee!: I know what you mean about the manual labor thing, you got to do what your good at. I'm destine to work with my hands too. I tried nursing school for a while but you cant hit a patient with a hammer when they don't do what you want them to! I worked as a auto and diesel mechanic since 1988. After screwing up my knee and having two surgeries that didn't help I went back to school for machine tool technology and have been working as a CNC machinist. I make the parts that go in the ground to pump the oil out, and no there were no Weatherford parts involved in the BP disaster! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 my boss owns a repair shop, towing and express lube and i work in the lube center useful but i doubt anyone wants to travel to buellton ca to get your pathy worked on Buellton is not that far from me (I am in the 805 too)... does your shop have any specialties that might be helpful to myself or others nearby (I know there are a few)... i.e. suspension, drivetrain, custom fabrication, etc?

fusion Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have been in the wine industry for quite some time now, including wine bars, restaurants, retailing, importing, wholesaling and distribution. Right now, I work for a very large independent retailer that also imports. When it comes to booze, I am your guy. Like many others... no application to pathys. I can, however, do almost anything mechanical myself, as long as I have the proper tools, so 90% of the work on my vehicles is done by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRich Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hey B, look at the tool I'm running. A 1/32 ball nose endmill for some profiling. I'm not making nanobots like you do though. I need a magnifying glass to inspect the tools not to be able to see the part! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a magnifying glass to inspect the tools not to be able to see the part! James Your tool is sooo... small!! That's pretty small for an end mill. I used to do a lot of mill work with 1/8-1/16" cutters normally and smaller when necessary. I found that a 1/32-1/16" ball mill at about .005" deep is about the best engraving tool there is. Oh, if you even need to small precision cutting tools, look up Robb Jack. They have .005" carbide end mills, slitting saws, reamers, etc. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard about .005 endmills but don't want anything to do with them, especially in inconel. This .032 is small enough. What would you feed a .005 endmill anyway? I think I can only go down to tenths (.0001) in feed rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 1/32 EM in Inconel?? *cringes* No thanks!! But then I have used them to cut ceramics... What would you feed a .005 endmill anyway? They seem to like pasta... I think I can only go down to tenths (.0001) in feed rate. You lost me on that one. We used to treat the tiny stuff 'wide open and .0001" per rev' (6000RPM, .6IPM). Why would Tenth per Rev feed rate be the lowest possible? What is the slowest your machine will move and the fastest that your spindle can go?? Not sure if this applies, but when you need better resolution because you are limited to .0001" offsets, program your machine in metric and you will get .001mm resolution (40 millionths of an inch resolution or 2.54X better). I used to run a Mazak QT8N cutingt +/- .0001 bearing journal diameters all day in metric and it served me well to offset toolwear, thermal expansion, etc. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
